2nd Sunday of Advent, Year C

by Marion Eagen

       As we celebrate this second Sunday of the new liturgical year, we note that this is a C year in the three-year cycle of Sunday readings. In C years, we concentrate on the Gospel of Luke. In A years, we read Matthew, and in B years, we delve into Mark.
       A gentile convert to Christianity, Luke was a friend and disciple to Paul and possibly a physician. He was a sophisticated literary stylist who produced not only this Gospel but its companion volume, the Acts of the Apostles, as well.
       More than the other evangelists, Luke presents Christ as a universal figure, one who accepts all kinds of outcasts from shepherds to Samaritans and one whose genealogy can be traced all the way back to Adam.
       It is from Luke’s Gospel that we receive our fondest images of the events surrounding the nativity.
